Afternoon at South Korea’s War Memorial
We spent the afternoon at South Korea’s War Memorial museum. This was an interesting overview of South Korea’s military history from the wars leading to the Three Kingdoms (~244 to 927 AD), the wars of Goreyo to Japanese occupation (936 - 1920), the Liberation from Japan in 1945 through the Armistice with North Korea in 1953, then through South Korea’s involvement in the Vietman, and finally South Korea’s involvement in military conflicts through the present. While not the best military museum we’ve been to, I felt the overview was pretty decent. I did feel that the Korean War info was a bit skimpy, but with the ongoing tensions with North Korea, I wonder if sensitivity is needed/warranted. In any event, I learned quite a bit today. -J 🇰🇷
